<p>An outbreak of a parasitic tropical disease has killed more than 300 people in Southern Sudan and the worst of the health crisis is yet to come, officials have said.</p>
<p>The World Health Organisation said the outbreak of kala azar began in September 2009 and has intensified in recent months.</p>
<p>More than 7,000 cases have been reported this year.</p>
<p>The parasite that causes the disease, Leishmania donovani, is transmitted through sand flies and attacks the internal organs.</p>
<p>The illness mainly affects children whose immune systems are compromised by malnutrition.</p>
<p>The peak of the outbreak is predicted to come in December or January, coinciding with Southern Sudan&#8217;s January 9 independence referendum, which is expected to result in the creation of the world&#8217;s newest country.</p>
